Chapter 740 Once Childish (3)(1/2)
After chatting casually for a while, Simon realized why the Hiltons and his wife were here tonight.
Cathy Hilton hopes to join "The Wife of New York" and contact Simon directly is undoubtedly the most convenient channel.
Speaking of the Hilton family, because of the great reputation of the Hilton Hotel, the outside world will always instinctively believe that they should be on the same level as the famous old Qian families such as Hurst and Newhouse.
Old Qian is right, the foundation is much worse.
Before the conflict with the Westeros system, even though it was broken up into many parts because of the large number of children of the family, the core assets of the Hurst family were rich. The Hilton family, Barron Hilton, the second-generation leader of the Hilton family, who currently holds shares in Hilton Hotels, had a personal net worth of only about US$200 million, and he had never even entered the Forbes US 400 Rich List.
Barron Hilton has many children, with a total of eight children. Cathy Hilton's husband Richard Hilton ranked sixth. In addition to regularly receiving a living expenses and a glamorous surname from the family trust, if you want to further enjoy the upper class life, members of the Hilton family must be self-reliant.
In history, Kris Jenner was called the "godmother" of the Kardashian family. In fact, many of this woman's operating methods were to imitate the earlier Cathy Hilton, and even deliberately released some kind of videotape of her daughter in order to create topics.
The video incident of Paris Hilton was purely accidental.
However, Paris's mother, Cathy Hilton, seized this opportunity well and built her daughter into a phenomenal IT Girl. Using these fame, Paris Hilton accumulated billions of assets by creating fashion brands, publishing books, participating in TV shows and other means.
After the Kardashian family succeeded, people always joked that Paris Hilton was shot to death by a young follower on the beach. In fact, through many personal brands, Paris Hilton was still prosperous. His personal net worth was higher than that of most members of the Kardashian family. Even if he was unable to inherit his grandfather's billions of dollars in inheritance, he could still maintain his own luxury life.
And all this is obviously not something that a material girl who only knows how to spend the nightclub all day can do, and most of it is attributed to Casey Hilton.
Let’s talk about Casey Hilton.
This woman, whose surname was Richards, and her two other sisters, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, were both child stars. Later, she became a famous Manhattan socialite. The three sisters successfully joined the wealthy family, at least they had married into the wealthy family, so it shows their scheming.
After marrying Richard Hilton, Cathy Hilton did not concentrate on being a housewife, but instead used the surname Hilton to start his own design firm, mainly engaged in interior design business.
Now, the continued popularity of "The Wife in New York" has obviously made the other party think.
For example, the Jenners who have owned "The New York Wife" have gained fame and fortune in recent years. Some media in Manhattan have also reported that the current Jenners, relying on the fame brought by "The New York Wife", only participate in some promotional activities, the appearance fee for participating in the same $300,000. Other brands endorse, publish books, start companies, etc. Total, the couple's annual income easily exceeds 10 million.
Since its launch in 1991, "The Wife of New York" has been in its fourth season and it does require some fresh blood.
What's more, the surname "Hilton" is definitely very eye-catching.
So Simon simply took the initiative and said, "By the way, Cathy, are you interested in participating in reality TV shows?"
Simon said, and Cathy Hilton's eyes lit up, but the Jenners next to him subconsciously looked at each other. During the conversation just now, they had already noticed the Hiltons' intentions, and Kris Jenner finally understood why Cathy Hilton suddenly appeared in her social circle during this period.
In the current stage of "The Wife of New York", Chris Jenner is undoubtedly the most successful of several housewives.
However, if Cathy Hilton joins, things may be very bad. The surname "Hilton" is so loud and naturally has the characteristics of attracting the audience's attention. By the fourth season of the show, even if this reality show has formed a very stable audience, people always pursue freshness. It is hard to say whether their name will be suppressed by Cathy Hilton.
If possible, Chris Jenner would definitely exclude Cathy Hilton from "The Wife of New York" at all costs.
However, now Simon Westeros has taken the initiative to invite him, and the problem is difficult to deal with. Thinking of those few two experiences, he is obviously a little man who is so strong that he is in his bones.
Cathy Hilton certainly knew that Simon Westeros offered an invitation, and the opportunity was rare. At least for a few seconds of reserve, he quickly said: "Simon, are you talking about "The Wife of New York"?"
Simon nodded: "Yes."
"Of course, I, well, I'd love to try it, but I just don't know if I can do it well."
"Hasn't you been an actor? It's much easier than an actor," Simon said, making a decision directly: "In this way, next spring, you can try to make a few guest appearances and then decide whether to join the fifth season."
The winter break is coming soon.
After the first half of the fourth season is played, the second half will not be broadcast until February next year.
Unlike the initial one-time production season, after gradually standardizing, most of Daenerys Entertainment's reality shows have begun to adopt the traditional strategy of producing and broadcasting while doing it. In addition to adjusting the plot in a timely manner based on audience feedback, this can minimize the capital operation cycle.
Similarly, it is easy to temporarily add a new character with a guest appearance.
Westeros had already said this, and Cathy Hilton did not hesitate anymore and agreed directly.
Simon turned his head to find his shadow, gave a command to Girl A, asked him to say hello to Robert Eiger, and finally chatted with the Hiltons for a few words before turning to him.
When a young man left, the originally very harmonious Hilton couple and Jenner couple suddenly showed a clear gap. Although he was still smiling, he obviously no longer had the previous enthusiasm.
At about 10:30 in the evening, Simon took Yasmin and Naga away from the party and returned to the apartment on Fifth Avenue.
When I left Gramessi Hotel last night, I felt the temperature dropped a lot and the cold wind blew.
When I woke up, the sky and the earth were covered with white space.
New York City fell the first snow of the year in the middle of yesterday and it was so fierce that the heavy snow like goose feathers did not stop at all when it reached the day.
I was planning to set off in the morning and return to Los Angeles.
Depending on the situation, you can only give up.
The two Jenny went to Australia after the birthdays of the two little guys a few days ago. The old man missed his grandson.
In fact, Simon also remembers to live in Australia for a while.
Unfortunately, the times do not allow it.
Even though he reached an agreement with several Washington bosses at the White House yesterday afternoon, Simon will not leave the United States easily in the short term just in case. Although communication methods in this era can eliminate regional barriers, it is always different whether Simon is in charge of the United States personally.
After breakfast, Yasmin and Naga rushed to work.
After last night's big show, there is still a lot to do in the next few days.
Simon did not leave his apartment on Fifth Avenue and worked directly from home. The most important thing is the recent public opinion trends.
Under the operation of a strong media public relations team in Westeros system, today's news from mainstream media in North America is naturally the third Victoria's Secret show last night. In order to make the topic more popular, it even deliberately provoked some disputes, and once again teased those conservatives to attack the Victoria's Secret show. Both sides went back and forth.
News of meeting with the president and senior congressional officials yesterday afternoon also appeared in many important pages.
The media caliber is quite consistent.
In order to discuss many issues regarding the technology industry.
It seems that the midterm elections have quickly become a past tense.
It is inevitable that some newspapers make similar speculations, but within the scope of the Westeros system, they basically avoid talking about Simon's interference in the midterm elections.
The Igrit Portal also took this opportunity to throw out the blockbuster bombshell of ‘IPO’, and also hinted that the Westeros system will reach a settlement with the Federal Department of Justice in the near future on antitrust investigations.
Because of this series of good news, the Nasdaq Technology sector rose sharply at the opening of the morning, and even broke through the 1,800-point mark.
After a busy morning, I had a two-hour video conference with several senior executives of Egret in the afternoon. At around four o'clock, Simon left Manhattan and rushed to Greenwich, and planned to discuss some things with Joseph Schrapp before dinner.
The heavy snow was still rising, and he could not use the helicopter and could only take a car.
On the way, I talked to Melbourne.
With a time difference of 15 hours, it was already on the morning of November 14th in Australia. Unlike the heavy snow in New York, the southern hemisphere is midsummer.
On the phone, Janet was playing in Tasmania's own territory with a group of little guys, and asked Simon to listen to the sound of an old man teaching Melbourne to ride a horse on the grass, which made Simon a little worried. An old man who was almost 80 years old and a young man who was only 4 years old next month, what kind of horse to ride? Isn't it good to play golf in an electric bike?
When I remembered it, I quickly warned that riding a horse was barely OK, and there must be many people around me to protect it, but hunting is absolutely not allowed.
Janet laughed and laughed on the phone, looking arrogant as he thanked you for reminding me.
The road was slippery on the snow. It took more than an hour to go from Manhattan to Greenwich, and more than an hour to talk. Everyone chatted for a few words, and even Nick Jr. When Janet learned that it was snowing heavily in New York, he felt very wonderful, but he didn't expect it at all.
Afraid of the cold.
Finally, I talked about it again, planning to return to North America two days before Thanksgiving, and even joked that Simon could be relieved to be fooled.
However, the old man and Jennifer did not forget to ask about the midterm elections on the phone.
Of course Simon knew that Janet did not do much less in private than herself.
When I arrived at the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich, I hung up the phone. It was already five o'clock, and it was usually late at night. However, because of the university, the world was still bright.
Sofia, who came to North America yesterday, had already helped Simon clean up the manor and started to ask someone to prepare dinner.
Joseph Schrapp arrived almost in time.
Simon and Schrapp talked in the study for more than an hour and saw each other off. The dinner was ready. Because of the incident in the first half of the year, the Fessi family moved to the next door to have dinner together. It was inevitable that there was a bit strange atmosphere and it was more warm. Asking about Gemma's lessons on the dining table also aroused the girl's anger. Fortunately, Simon was not his father, which made Sophia's face flushed and knocked on her daughter's forehead with a spoon.
After dinner, Sofia's parents took their two children back to the next residence, and the woman naturally stayed.
Just like a housewife, she packed her housework in person, came to a living room with a fireplace, hugged her on the sofa with a little man, leaving only a dizzy wall lamp and a firelight in the fireplace. The surroundings were dark, and the wind occasionally came out of the outdoors, but the atmosphere was very charming.
Simon put down the book he was reading and hugged the woman's waist. He heard her make a contribution to Versace, Bulgari, and Vacheron Constantin's three newly joined Melisandra, and also talked about some follow-ups of the Glory Club.
Simon also talked about the midterm elections and his own prudence and worries.
It was already late at night before I knew it.
He reached out to caress the woman's lower abdomen and asked, "Have you not moved yet?"
When he was moved, Sophia wanted to have another child, a child she and Simon, and she talked with Janet for this and got a promise. However, after a few months, she had been happy many times and never got pregnant.
Holding down the man's plan to make trouble, Sophia said: "Maybe I'm too old, but this is not bad. I already have Danny and Gemma, so I shouldn't be too greedy."
Simon kissed the woman's lips and smiled and said, "Why don't we try again, it's good tonight. By the way, if you get pregnant, your name will be ready."
Sofia and Simon kissed, their cheeks pressed against the man's chin, and they smiled and said softly, "Greenwich?"
"Is this name not good?"
"Strange, and what if it's a girl?"
"Isn't Sear a girl?"
"Greenwich is a boy when he hears it."
"What did you say?"
Sofia thought for a while and said, "It's snowing. If it's a girl, it's called 'Snow'. How about it, Sino Westero?"
